The Formula for Success in Law School

By Casebook Sherpa On 05/08/11 · · In 4L, Law School Experience

The title is a bit misleading.

With just under three weeks until graduation and one take home to finish up tomorrow, I have concluded that there is no one formula to follow for succeeding in law school. My friends and I have each developed our own approaches for studying, preparing, and surviving in law school.

Last Substantive Class

By Casebook Sherpa On 04/20/11 · · In 4L, Law School Experience

I couldn’t let this day go by without posting.

Tonight, I have my last substantive class in law school. Next week, two classes meet, but both will be review sessions.

So, at 7:35 p.m. tonight, I will be done with law school classes. All that’s left is a few exams.

By Casebook Sherpa On 12/13/10 · · In 4L, Law School Experience

Tonight, I finish up the 7th of 8 semesters (plus a summer) in law school. For all you kids out there thinking of doing law school at night… for FOUR years… rethink it. Seriously.

Have I told you my new favorite joke?

Anyway, goes something like this…

Sometimes, It Just Doesn’t All Fit

By Casebook Sherpa On 03/03/10 · · In Work-School Balance

Pardon my ending of our recent hiatus with a bit of whining…
